Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Oct-14-1999

Reported in: (2001)(130)ELT591Tri(Mum.)bai

1. The appellants imported "Nomex Aramid Paper" claiming classification under Heading 85.46 which covered Electrical Insulators of any material. The Assistant Commissioner was of the view that a distinction was required to be made between 'insulators' and 'insulating materials'. He observed that for such paper to become insulator, it would first be laminated with the plastic film and then cut to size. He therefore classified the goods under Chapter 39. In dealing with the case law cited before him, he relied upon the CEGAT judgment in the case of Sri Ram Refrigeration Industries Ltd. 1993 (63) E.L.T. 593. The assessees then filed an appeal. The Commissioner (Appeal) traced the history of classification of such goods. He observed that earlier these goods were classified under Heading 85.46 and observed that the Supreme Court judgment in the case of Raja Radio Co. v. CC 1995 (77) E.L.T. 251 (S.C.) caused the change in the classification. On reading the tariff entry, he observed that goo...
